I am modeling a project for a site at a high altitude.
Do i need to enter HVAC system parameters (e.g. fan / coil cfm) for sea level or can I enter them as designed (e.g. at altitude) and the AP locate tool will tell Apache HVAC to make the adjsutment?
Thanks.
Altitude adjustment?
Re: Altitude adjustment?
To my knowledge IES does not adjust for altitude, and assumes a standard air density. ApacheSim Calculation Methods gives a standard density of 1.2 kg/m³, while the MacroFlo Calculation Methods gives a standard density of 1.21 kg/m³. Either way, I'm pretty sure it's constant and you'll need to adjust the flowrates to a constant mass flow rate of air.
